Cooperite & Braggite with Moncheite

Rustenburg District, Western Bushveld Complex, Northwest Province, South Africa

2.02cm x 1.58cm x .7cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

magnificent example of these rare platinum and palladium bearing species from this famous locality!!! This specimen consists of a pyroxene matrix that hosts numerous significant masses and grains of silvery metallic cooperite and braggite with minute moncheite inclusions!!! The pyroxene crystals have marked luster and translucence, and are intergrown at juxtaposed angles - making it difficult to capture the luster of the metallic grains in the pics!!! The specimen has been cut an polished on one edge to exhibit the rare species included within!!! In person, one can see that there are grains of metallic cooperite, braggite, and moncheite scattered about and visible on all sides of the specimen!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see that there is much more material present than the pics show!!! With careful examination, one can see the varying metallic hues of the seperate species in some areas as well!!! This specimen is from the same single mass that we sold several polished and analyzed slabs from some time ago!!! This is the last remaining example of this very rare material!!! Don't miss out!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
